Play OverviewPlay Overview

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit (2018) is an adventure game set between Life Is Strange and Life is Strange 2. You play Chris Eriksen, a young boy who creates the superhero alter ego Captain Spirit to deal with the loss of his mother.

The story takes place in Beaver Creek, Oregon, where Chris lives with his father, Charles, who is struggling with the death of Chris' mother. When playing in the costume of his alter ego hero we can customise his abilities to be better equipped for quests like treasure hunting and exploring. As we do this and decide how to talk to players in the game, we create a branching narrative with different outcomes.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 8 months ago.

This game also contains the use of sexual expletives. The word "œ*!@?*" and its derivatives can be found throughout.
